Our Foundation

Statement of Faith

Grace Christian Academy is a Christian school whose roots come from the rich belief that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  While we are accepting of all Christian disciplines, this theological understanding still guides our core beliefs. Chief among these beliefs are: the Bible as our guiding authority, the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins, and the work of the Holy Spirit to call us to faith, to service and to sustain us in Christ.

We believe:

  • In one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • God became incarnate in Jesus Christ and that all of our hope centers on the person and work of Jesus, who was fully God and fully man.

  • Jesus is God. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death on the cross to pay the penalty of our sin, His resurrection, His ascension to Heaven, and His future return in power and glory to judge both his followers and non-believers.

  • In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who enables Christians to live godly lives.

  • That the Bible is the inarguable and authoritative Word of God and the guiding authority for salvation and faithful living.

  • In the necessity of obedience to the Word of God.

  • That Jesus Christ is the head of the Church.

  • That in Christ, there is unity of all followers.

  • In the Sovereignty of God over all creation.

  • In the faithful Stewardship of God's creation.

  • That our chief purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Mission

The mission of Grace Christian Academy is to provide superior, Christian education consistent with Biblical principles. A dedicated, professional faculty presents God as the source of all life and truth. Within a secure, loving environment, students will discover their individual gifts and develop spiritually, socially, and intellectually. We strongly believe that the union of our school, its families, and their churches will equip our students for a life pursuing excellence and integrity under the Lordship of Christ.
